Just because I'm new on here doesn't mean I'm not aware of that simple concept. That's obvious. Pretty much anything that people practice in real life is going to be practiced on here, because we're all real people behind the username. Your comment reminds me of the presidential debates, when Obama said that some people in congress will agree on something, but when he says he agrees with them, those same people who once agreed, now disagree. People are funny like that.

So then there was really no need to just quote her "agreeing to disagree" post since all of you were involved in it. What you said here without quoting anyone would have been sufficient.

Uh.. what?

"Agreeing to disagree" means that you're disagreeing about something, and...

No.. ya know what... nevermind.

I am so confused. I've never been in a thread where this many people were all disagreeing while all saying the same thing. It's like y'all are all using the same arguments to make different points. :confused:

No, I'm not "ironically arguing" anyone's point, AST. You've all made valid points. The experiences you are referring to are "walking a mile in someone else's shoes" to gain an understanding of what they have experienced. The experiences I'm referring to are not the same experiences you are referring to. I'm saying that we come into this world like empty computers when we first arrive on the planet earth. No programs have been installed. All we have is the capacity to record and store all the information we receive, which comes from our parents, teachers, relatives, friends, the media, and the environment we grew up in. Positive or negative, that data is based on our observances which makes up our programming. And we print out what we retain (i.e. how we connect with others). Sometimes this is a good thing, sometimes it is not. Those are the "experiences" I was referring to.

Never said it couldn't. People can change, but that has to come from within.

Did you see me quoting multiple usernames? :confused: I said when "two people" (pbear and I) can't agree that it is always wise and beneficial for both people to come to an agreement by agreeing to disagree. She said she doesn't believe in giving up on people like the people we were discussing, which is her prerogative that she is entitled to.

And with your comment about the POTUS, I think every president has had that problem, not just Obama.

Nice avatar. :rolleyes::p

Not really. My situation wasn't even the same situation as hers. Could I have reacted differently? Probably. But when some dude is in my face like he was, that's a level of disrespect that I can't handle.

LOL @ the fact that you can't see that y'all are talking apples and oranges. You are one dumb female. You should have kept that siggy you once had from DrPhil, because it matched your thought process LOL.

This part of your post is deep, and I feel you.

Oh, ok.....

:rolleyes:

You can come with that all day long. It still doesn't change the fact that you made a dumb assumption. She was "ironically arguing your point?" LOL This reminds me of the time when she was talking about getting a return on her investment in a different thread. When she asked me if I would invest in cheap landscaping equipment, you turned around and asked her how can she compare human beings to landscaping equipment LOL. Like I said, that old DrPhil siggy matched your inattentive dumb ass perfectly.

Just gonna call it now...

If you want to act like an adult and have a rational, intelligent conversation without throwing insults for no good reason whatsoever, then I'm all for that. Otherwise...

Uh, ok.

In before the lock?

YAY!!!! A trainwreck thread!!!

This should tide me over until SEC fall recruitment time!!!:p

How was this a train wreck? I would expect universal agreement that this woman has no excuse for her behavior and that 99% of us would have been on board with that poor employee calling the cops and telling her she's banned from the premises.

How did such a reasonable proposition end up here?

Its a trainwreck based on the exchanges between ASTAlumna06 and Mizeree I2K.

You have some serious pride issues that you might want to rectify.
